Meanwhile, somewhere in London, a crane tips over ...

Actually it's not "somewhere". It's Battersea, and I know where that is now because Sky News fashioned me with a handy map graphic.
"We can't have the hinterlands mongoloids thinking there's cranes flopping over in Waping or Earl's Court! Dammit Stephens, WHERE'S MY FUCKING LONDON SW8 GRAPHIC! ..."
But that's the sort of ace provider they are of that most relevant form of journalism, 24-hour television news.
Team Sky, in its attempt to poo out onto the air every piece of information that passed through the bowel that is its newsroom, also let me know that "one of the people killed in the crane accident is believed to be the crane operator."
Well played, Sky. Maybe for your next trick, a little historical investigative journalism would be in order - there's a rumour going around that all seven people killed in the Columbia space shuttle disaster were astronauts.
